How did “Auf der Platte” begin?
The podcast launched on March 5, 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to THW Kiel, the inaugural episodes were recorded remotely from home offices during a time when professional handball was defined by “ghost games”—matches played in empty arenas. The collaboration between the club and the radio station was designed to share stories about the team.

- Cultural Segments: Discussions on music, including rock favorites and player-specific interests.
- Personal Insights: Anecdotes regarding locker room life and player personalities.
The final episode acts as a retrospective, incorporating clips from the early days of the pandemic alongside highlights such as Rune Dahmke’s Facebook stories and Nikola Bilyk’s musical contributions. The team also revisited recurring segments, including lighthearted questions about which animals best represent specific THW Kiel players.
